Third week going very well.

Classes have been taking up most of my time, so I've actually slowed down a little bit with meeting new people. However, I did finally visit with YWAM LA last night. They had an awesome time of worship and also Fred Markert (a ywam veteran) gave a great talk on how Jesus is really the answer to solving most of the worlds current problems be it corruption, AIDS, famine, or poverty. It was quite refreshing to be around YWAMers again. =) I miss you guys. This past weekend of shooting was pretty interesting. I got be a burglar in one shot and a drunk bum wandering LA in another. Hopefully I'll get a copy of the films soon so I upload some clips to Google Video. Speaking of which, I helped my friend Allan Turner-Ward upload is reel to Google Video the other day check it out: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7630917745652713475 .

Classes are going great!

This is so much fun, it's ridiculous. Nevertheless, riddle me this all you psychology majors: why is it that every morning or day before, I don't want to go to class? I want to come up with some excuse to take the day off and just relax. Why? I learn a lot. It's incredibly exciting and challenging. I have my moments of embarrassment, of course, sometimes video taped. =) But that shouldn't phase me by now. Hmm... Btw, I was in two student films this weekend. Nothing huge. Just some short short silent black and white films. If you go to video.google.com and search for "nyfa" you'll see some examples of student projects. Not very exciting, but definitely a good learning exercise. This past Sunday in my first film I trip on a curb, mess up my leg and watch people pass by me not offering to help and just look at me like I'm some kind of freak show. The filmmaker said she got the idea because it actually happened to her. :( Sohh ssad. In the

Lovin' it out here on the West Coast

The wave of cool new people to hang out with just doesn't end! I am overwhelmed and grateful for all the people that God has brought into my life over the past 2 weeks here on the West Coast. People who don't even know me except for my website have opened up their homes to me and helped me get rides to various small groups and events. Since I last blogged, I connected with a Christian group producing a short film for the 168Project.org Film Festival. They get one week (168 hours) to write, shoot, and edit an 11 minute film on a bible verse given to them at the beginning of the week. The festival airs the entries on March 11 (my birthday =) ) Just from volunteering as a grip on this project I learned a ton and met a lot of Christians working in various parts of "The Industry". I'm living some really cool guys up in Pasadena, CA now. Tim McGinnis heard through the email grape vine that I was looking for a place to stay and him and his roommates are lettin
